Can corporate dinners in Charleston be more memorable at Kersey House?

Corporate dinners can be more than just a meal. They’re a chance to build relationships, share ideas, and show appreciation in an environment that feels both refined and welcoming. At Kersey House in Summerville, just outside Charleston, we’ve created a setting that helps businesses host events that truly stand out. From our historic spaces to the culinary expertise of our chefs, every detail comes together to make the evening memorable.

How Does Hosting With History And Comfort Shape The Evening?

Kersey House, a restored 1912 traveler’s rest, offers a mix of elegance and warmth. The Magnolia Ballroom seats up to 80 with hardwood floors, a cathedral ceiling, and a built in bar. For larger groups, the courtyard holds up to 250 among azaleas, hydrangeas, and a water feature. Smaller dinners work well in the Family Room with its fireplace or Donald’s Room with fishing inspired decor. Verandas lined with Charleston lanterns and fans provide space for 50 and a relaxed atmosphere.

What Makes The Culinary Experiences Stand Out?

Dinner at Kersey House is led by Chef Nico Romo, the only French Master Chef in South Carolina, who combines European training with Southern hospitality. Executive Chef Remi Lorgoulloux, trained in France and a member of the Académie Culinaire de France, guides the team with creativity and precision. Catering is handled exclusively by Nico Romo Hospitality Group, offering up to three plated entrées with dietary accommodations available. Two built in bars, located in the ballroom and courtyard, ensure flexible service that supports your evening’s flow.

Which Planning Details Matter Most For A Corporate Dinner?

At Kersey House, your booking already includes tables, chairs, glassware, dinnerware and flatware, along with a full professional service team, so outside rentals aren’t needed. Event managers, captains, bartenders, and waitstaff work together to maintain consistent service throughout the evening. You’re welcome to personalize the space with flowers, candles, or lighting, though wall attachments aren’t allowed and candles must be contained. Amplified music is permitted in all areas, giving flexibility for background or lively sound.
